Ok currently I am seeing Ladies and Pairs free, live, full coverage on BBC 2. I am guessing that Men and Dance will be available too but it's the awkward split due to the end of the month so it's not popping up yet. No short programs, even recaps as far as I can see.

I cannot find anything figure skating related on the BBC 2 listings. Is it a regional thing?

Do you by any chance have links to these channels? I will be onboard a ferry from Sweden on Wednesday evening and they have free wifi so I thought I might be able to watch pairs short onboard the ship.

Choose TV2. There is a white arrow on red circle, press it and you can watch the the channel. The date changes automatically to current, but you can also browse the schedule. Figure skating is taitoluistelu in Finnish, as you already may know.

Edit: Yle areena is a little bit more complicated. For me it is now telling that I should update my flashplayer. It is difficult to give links before the live programs are near to start.

Ooh probably is, due to rights. Bummer.

No, I mean, a regional BBC 2 channel? I looked at bbc tv online, the England and the HD listings, but don't see any figure skating. I can check my print TV guide tonight...

Oh, that's the red button. :-( That's not the normal BBC 2 TV channel, right?

Thank you so much for the information! I don't speak Finnish at all so I would have had problems finding it without your help.

Eurosport's coverage of this Worlds is disgusting, if you think about it. First of, Worlds is actually in Europe, so no time excuse. That doesn't seem to mean anything at all. And our commentators at least have been constantly telling us in the last competitions how they will cover Worlds, the only channel that is showing Figure Skating. They showed a lot of the GP, Euros, 4CC and even the Winter Universade. And now, when it comes to the most important competition of the season, there is such mediocre coverage? I regret spending money on the player again. I assumed they would show it live on Eurosport 2. But no. I never learn.

I so agree with you but I have to remind myself that after the scare with Sky losing BESP altogether, I promised never ever complain again about coverage and just be happy that I still have BESP on the big screen. What annoying is that they seem to 'target' ladies & men. The pairs will be shown Live both programs but not men's short or ladies short. Same was at Euros which means I won't have recording of many skaters I like - Laurine, Ivett, Carolina who will be skating earlier.
BBC will be showing on red button same not ladies or men short live. But I am going to record some for Robin Cousins's commentary alone.

There will be the highlights on the BBC 2 channel on Sunday the 2nd April.

TT_Fin · Mar 24, 2017

Eurosport Nordic(?) is going to show quite many hours during the first day; 19.05-23.55 Finnish time. But there isn't schedule further that the opening day.

katonice · Mar 24, 2017

Hi everyone. Does anyone know a working livestream link for Malaysia? I was hoping to rely on ISU streaming, but as I understand they haven't yet confirmed they will be providing it. Thanks!

Himawari · Mar 25, 2017

Hello!
Chinese channel CCTV5 and CCTV5+ will broadcast the entire competition. Kazsport too.
Fuji TV will broadcast last groups of men and ladies SP and FS.
For French viewers, francetvsport.fr will be streaming the entire event.

cathlen · Mar 25, 2017

Well, Eurosport coverage is weird. Don't get why they can't show morning session on Wednesday and Thursday... Good thing they're at least showing both Free Programs on Saturday.

BBC coverage begins on Thursday at 16.45 on the Red Button and Online - which I think are both only accessible to UK viewers?

The only BBC 2 programme is a highlights of the week show on Sunday at 13.00.

I'm not complaining as I wasn't even expecting this! (And will rely on a Russian stream for events not covered by BBC).

I sincerely hope it's not Kat Downes again on commentary though, she was useless during Boston, and knows nothing about Skating. Would the BBC put a total newbie on any other Sport? Ofcourse not! But FS doesn't count! :disapp:

lavoix · Mar 26, 2017

So no isu livestream? That's stupid.

Any other way to watch the competition live online?

Don't give up yet, it may just show up again at the last minute. It was there before...

BBC Red Button Schedule http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/36722726 Mens LP live Saturday morning, but not Free Dance (that is a repeat). However latter live on Eurosport of course, but mens LP is just highlights.

Doris and/or Mrs. P are kind enough to set up threads like this one -- to encourage everyone to share what they know.

If you have nothing to contribute, how about waiting more than twelve minutes after the thread was started before expecting it to spoon-feed information to you?

In the U.S.:

The schedule for NBCSN and NBC coverage is here: http://www.usfigureskating.org/events?id=84206 (scroll down)

The Ice Network schedule is on its event page here: http://web.icenetwork.com/schedule/2017/03/2017_world_fs_champs

Oh boy. I cant wait to see how much of the over the air NBC coverage is deleted by my local affiliate....At least there is INW and youtube.
Forget tax reform and healthcare. We need an equal rights ammendment to the constitution, guaranteeing equal access to all figure skating video, no matter what race, religion, color, sex, economic status or location someone is !
I have a dream! We shall overcome predujice! Figure skating video is a RIGHT, not a privlidge! OK, I am going to go take my meds now.....:agree2:
